Anti-biblical bigotryshould cost tax break

To all the churches that are pulling their support from Cub and Boy Scouts: Your lack of tolerance as preached against continually in the Bible should (hopefully) cause you to lose your tax-exempt status as "religious organizations."

The second problem I have with your stance is that I have never heard of a Cub Scout (normal age group, 7-10) knowing, let alone declaring, that he was gay. Since puberty is coming earlier than it was 40 years ago, I suppose that some Boy Scouts (normal age group, 11-14) could know they are gay. But, the last I heard, being gay does not mean you are a pedophile (which I think is your real fear). While not absolute, scientific studies are pretty conclusive that being gay is pretty much physically hard-wired rather than a mental choice.

Thirdly, your stance is akin to that of those Islamists who show no tolerance for anyone not of their faith. Using your own reasoning skills, I guess that makes your church(es) terrorist organizations. Which could also be construed to mean that any attendees in your facilities are terrorists as well. Perhaps a call to Homeland Security is in order now.
